Air Fills

The most basic dive service, and one worth checking for hours, pressure and cylinder requirements.

Air fills are the most fundamental service a dive facility provides, and the one divers most often assume without checking.

The variables that matter are opening hours, fill pressure available, whether the facility fills cylinders it did not sell, and whether a current test date is required — which it should be.

For divers travelling to regional or remote destinations, confirming fill availability before departure is worth the phone call.

Check before you travel

Remote and regional destinations may have limited fill availability, restricted hours or a single facility that closes on particular days.

For any trip outside a major city, confirming fills — and cylinder hire if you are flying — avoids arriving with equipment you cannot use.

Air quality

Breathing air must meet air quality standards, and reputable facilities test their compressor output periodically.

It is entirely reasonable to ask when a facility last tested its air quality.

What to establish before relying on a shop

  • fill pressure available
  • opening hours
  • whether externally owned cylinders are filled
  • test date requirements
  • multi-fill cards or club rates
  • turnaround for bulk fills
